Sam, Barbara, and Georgi (with his recumbent masterpiece "Varna") continue to amaze! Each September the fastest cyclists in the world congregate in Battle Mountain, Nevada. The reason? Highway 305 - the straightest, flattest, and ideally elevated (4500 ft) road in North America. There's not much else here, in the middle of nowhere, but for the thrill seeking, speed freaks, flying in futuristic contraptions, this desolate place is heaven on earth. In 2009, Sam Whittingham, riding in a Varna Tempest broke his own world record, reaching the ridiculous 83.8 mph. That's more than 1/10 the speed of sound...with an engine of 1HP (one human power). Barbara Buatois of France became the fastest woman on earth, shattering the previous record and reaching 75.458 mph with Varna Diablo III. That also makes her the fastest person in Europe and puts her in the top five in the world (men or women). The Varna Streamliners are designed by Georgi Georgiev of Gabriola Island, BC and named after his place of birth Varna, Bulgaria. Georgi is a sculptor, who doesn't use computer analysis or mathematical calculations and relies solely on his unique engineering instincts and transcendent understanding of how shapes interact with their environment at high speeds. His Varna vehicles manage to hide from the air with stunning efficiency and reach unimaginable speeds.
